Accidentally On Purpose

Monday Morning

Rima POV

Monday morning. beep beep beep. I pressed the snooze button before laying in bed. Ugh! I had a huge headache. Why did it seem that lately I had been going through more and more advil. Pretty soon I would need to find an actual drug dealer to give me a really strong pill to take away all this pain. My phone vibrated. Irritated I looked at the text. I'm 20 minutes away with you coffee. Looking forward to working with you. -Kairi :) I sprinted out of the bed and ran to turn on the water in the shower. Brushing my teeth I quickly texted him back. Ok! See you soon! :D. -Rima3. I debated on sending the heart with it or not. Finally after spending a good 2 minutes staring at my phone I sent it and ran into the shower hiding my red face.

I didn't even know how I did it, but I was downstairs, perfectly dressed, and 2 minutes early. I took out my mirror looking at myself one last time. My hair was actually working today, making effortless, gentle, gold curls fall down my back. My outfit wasn't bad either. A simple dark red business suit and perfect flats on my feet to match. My make up looked fresh and bright. Today he would see the side of me he rarely saw. I was going to be professional, ladylike, and totally in control. I saw him drive up and walked outside being sure to ignore the patches of ice that were slowly melting due to the nice weather we had been having lately.

Kairi POV

We drove to work talking about the signs we saw and the odd little things that were happening. It was just like old times when I used to drive her to high school everyday. We arrived at the shiny skyscraper and got out of the car like old friends. I followed her inside, feeling like the weight of her secret was being lifted. It had felt good to have someone else besides Rima's "mother" know. We walked into the building, the smell of fresh apple pie filled the air, making a great contrast to the cool weather outside.

We walked inside the warm building where a lady with curly brown hair greeted us.

"Good Morning Yoshida-san," she said. Her voice was icy, like her eyes.

"This is Himura Reiko-san," Rima introduced.

"Nice to meet you" I replied extending a hand for her to shake. She took it, her hand was freezing but I didn't flinched. I flashed her a warming smile and she returned it with a surprised look.

"He will be working with us from today on. Please could you and Nakano-san prepare the vacant office next to mine for him to start?"

"Of course Yoshida-san." Himura-san quickly stood up and avoiding my gaze, swiftly walked into the other room.

"Come on Kairi. I still have to show you the whole factory." A smile formed on Rima's lips. Quickly the door open and a blond haired girl popped her head through.

"Yoshida-san, What about Fugisaki-san?"

Rima POV

Oh yea! Fugisaki! I forgot all about him! Darn! "You can put him in the office next to the staff lounge," I replied. "Oh! And also! This is Kairi Sanjo-kun, he will be working the office next to mine from now on." The blondie left, "That's Rai Nakano-san. I'll probably make her your assistant," I informed pointing. Kairi smirked. "What?" I demanded.

"She's cute," said Kairi, smirking. A tiny bit of anger flared inside me. I looked up at Kairi and accidentally meeting his luminous green eyes. I grew still, my muscles tensing up.

"Gomenasai! I'm late!" came a voice from behind. I spun around meeting the gaze of my latest employee, Nagihiko Fugisaki. Ugh!

"Hello Fugisaki," I said, my attention focused on Kairi.

"He can come with us," said Kairi, "besides he's going to need to know his way around the factory if he is going to work here too." I forced a smile.

"Good Morning Mashiro-san. I'm so sorry I was late but I picked up a box of doughnuts to celebrate my first day," said Fugisaki in a very polite manner. He opened the box and inside was a neat set of a dozen doughnuts, all different flavors. The smell was delicious and fresh making my mouth water.

"Hello, I'm Sanjo Kairi, nice to meet you." Nagihiko looked up and directly into Kairi's eyes, skepticism falling over them.

"Have we met before?"
